4.0 out of 5 starsWorked well for two years, then suddenly stopped working.

14 November 2017

Purchased in 2015. Took a month or so to adjust to the electric shaver. Initially it left plenty of bruises especially around the neck.After that no problems. I started to actually enjoy the shaving experience. Would charge quickly and needed a recharge only one a month or so.After exactly two years, the blade replacement indicator lit up. Searched all over but could not get replacement blades.Then one fine day the shaver refused to start.Have tried contacting Philips customer care but no action from their end.They have only told me that the shaver is not repairable and would be replaced.Warranty is for two years.

Update.Repaired the shaver locally. Opened it up, cleaned the interiors and used WD-40 oil spray.And behold, the shaver was fine for one more year.Finally buying the same shaver again in Oct 2018.

I just got this one 2 days ago. The pack was roughly handled with some dents in the cardboard. But the product was undamaged. It's quite big and heavy compared to my previous trimmer. But I was surprised by the full charge in 1 hr ability.

Now THIS IS NOT A MACHINE YOU CAN USE WITHOUT GOING THROUGH A TUTORIAL! Else you'll end up with lots of burning bruises in your neck, just like me. And make sure to use a foam on your first shave, so that your skin can adapt to the machine.

Very Important - this machine is for regular use only. If you have a week old beard, use the pop up trimmer to reduce the hair size, and then shave. Or it'll take over 30 min for clean shave.

EDIT: This sale is a froud. I ordered AT890/16, but they only gave me AT890. I spent half an hour to find the serial number for the warranty registration. Only then did I find the difference. This is cheap counterpart without the advertised 2+1 yr warranty! Hell with you Amazon. I didn't expect this from you!!

First time used a electric shaver.Writeing this review after 6 shaves Dry and wet.After the first dry shave their was little itching but gone after using moisteriser followed by after shave lotion.I found dry shaving much better and easy than wetshaving with this electric shaver.Gives 98% clean shave.The trimmer could have been better.I used to feel lethargic using a regular razor every second day but with this ekectriv shaver its fast and safe as no cuts and bleeds.I have given 4 stars as i feel the trimmer could have been better.

Awesome product. Just loved it. AT 890 gives a smooth shave with no burns or itching even in in the front neck area unlike other shavers. I got the lightning deal which is icing on the cake. Kudos to amazon. Charges in a flash in an hour. Wet or dry both are smooth as butter. Get the extended warranty of one year by registering the product on the official Philips website. So all in all you get a three year warranty. Can't get better than this.

I have been using Philips' shaver for a long time but Aqua Touch AT890/16 is a class apart. Its charging is good and gives several shaves per charging. The power management is very good. The hold and weight factor are also a delight. The three shaving heads both in the dry shave and wetshave are excellent. Shaving is not a chore anymore. With AT890/16 shaving is hassle-free, quick and leaves the skin smooth and clean. I am happy to have bought it.I am so happy with it that I plan to gift it to all my family members and friends, may be this Christmas. And I know they will be truly happy as I am. A must buy for all men who care.

Charges in 20 minutes. It takes 40 minutes to complete shave. You need to read manual and watch YouTube before how to shave. Foam shave doesn't work much when compared to normal wetshave with water. Just use warm water and shave.

After so many years and so many shavers, I found the perfect one! Hats off! As the old advertisement used to say for 7 O clock - Great shave! Wife loves it! Easy to use, excellent capacity and the best part is the wet and dry shave. I have become a real fan of the wetshave. Really easy to maintain. Just wash under the tap like any other blade. The only flop side is that there is a significant amount of skin irritation and friction burn in the neck which ultimately settles with regular shaving.The speed at which the package arrived was excellent...As good as going and buying yourself in the store.Fantastic product....Highly recommended.

This is a wow item. I was having a 50-50 mind of ordering a electric shaver. But this one changed my mind after buying it. As advertised it just takes 3 minutes to get a complete clean shave with or without cream. Dry one may tend to leave some stubble's, so try wet foam after that and it gives a very good finish. As people have described you need to do anticlockwise when you shave under the chin - you will soon realize it after couple of shaving attempts :-). Loved it and have referred it to my family and friends.

The aquatouch shaver was delivered in time and was in complete retail packaging, totally new and as described. I was satisfied with the product, and it gives better results than a normal razor or trimmer. Those who are looking for an alternative to buying expensive razor blades every month and getting cuts, this product is a marvel. It can be used for both, dry and wetshaves, and works the part. Although you make take some time to get used to it, and there may be redness on the skin on the initial tries, once you understand how it works, it's a cakewalk.One of the wonders of modern technology.I recommend you go for this product. :)

I've used a lot of trimmers before. shave only like once a week and maintain a beard most if the time. So, I generally forget to charge my trimmers.So, when I actually need my trimmers to work, they don't have any charge.This shaver had changed that! It promises to charge for a full shave in 5 minutes and it delivers with flying colors.The battery on this thing is amazing. I've bought it 4 months ago, did approx 10 full wetshaves, all on a single incomplete charge!!This was also my first waterproof trimmer, so for me, a wetshave was the one of the best experiences ever. This baby gives a smoother shave than a Gillette fusion power when used against the grain!Highly recommend buying this!Cons: Well, since I didn't need to charge it regularly, I think I lost my charger :(

P. S: There are a lot of bad reviews that this shaver does not work for thick hair. In that case, just use the flap behind the shaver to mow down the excess hair and then shave it down. I went from gandalf to frodo in 5 minutes.

I have been using electric shavers for more than 50 yrs now and after trying other makes like BRAUN and REMINGTON I have found PHILIPS TRIPLE BLADE MODEL TO BE THE BEST and long lasting The first time I got a model that can be used for wetshaving, I used it with the foam cream, and no doubt found it very comfortable but the blades and the protective cover got damaged and the service centre in Ahmedabad told me then that replacement parts are not available and blades got corroded due to the salty water of Ahmedabad then. It is hence lying like that. but nowadays I find that Philips only sell the models which can be used for both wet or dry shaving. I hence use them only for dry shaving and I get a very good shave with all the models tried till now, including the AT 890/16 I purchased now. Nowadays spare blades are available off the shelf but not the motors Regarding comments by some new users , I would advise them to try for some time so that your beard gets used to it. this will take some time and you will find it uncomfortable initially .This is for the information for all new users

I'v rated 4 star because of Amazon Transportation's useless service.Now for the product, it is really awesome. I was looking for a shaver of good quality. I got this for Rs 2599. I've read many reviews and got confused, whether to buy or leave. At the end I purchased it. And it made me very happy. Few buyer wrote it was little bit difficult to use for the first time. But I feel no problem. I've used wetshaving and it does clean shaving in 3 minutes. I'm very happy with it.Those who are thinking whether to buy it or not, don't hesitate, go for it. it will done what it says.And one more thing, You'll get one year extended warranty through online product registration.
